The truth is, there is room for gray areas more than the most outspoken critics liberals and conservatives are willing to declare. Disregardless of one&#8217;s political opinions, there are significant problems with the viewpoint [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crossexamine.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3153528&amp;post=186&amp;subd=crossexamine&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The April 1966 edition of Time Magazine lives in infamy for its bold title: Is God Dead? The cover is on many lists of the best magazine covers of all-time, and for good reason. It pulls at the heartstrings of many and forces us to ask questions we&#8217;d rather not ask. The truth is, at [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crossexamine.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3153528&amp;post=177&amp;subd=crossexamine&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the late 1990s, several &#8220;Christian bands&#8221; began introducing projects with songs dubbed &#8220;worship songs.&#8221; Artists such as Sonicflood, Delirious, Matt Redman, and others ushered in a wave of chorus-driven songs that were easily transferred into church services, given a few instruments and the ability to axe the organ as the primary instrument.

		<description><![CDATA[I recently started reading a great book called &#8220;Divine Commodity&#8221; by Skye Jethani. This work attempts to reveal the pitfalls of consumerism quenching our thirst for imagination and perspective, and thus far, does a fantastic job of it. Jethani utilizes the perspective and works of nineteenth century Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh to illustrate [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crossexamine.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3153528&amp;post=163&amp;subd=crossexamine&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several months ago, I addressed the tenants of Gnosticism compared to Christianty. Since then, I have been teaching a class to Christian teenagers about the Apostles Creed, the ancient list of things people are required to believe to be Christians. I did a somewhat blind test comparing ancient Gnostics to ancient Christians.

But another less popular (and noisy) group emerges with news that (in my opinion) is more alarming than the others.
